Pratt iXD MS vs UW HCDE MS

[brandonkc7]

Hi everyone! I recently was accepted to both the Pratt iXD MS program and the University of Washington HCDE MS Program. I got a 15k/year scholarship at Pratt (total cost $28K), but for either program I’d like to still work as I have a comfortable, fully remote tech job as a web marketing strategist. I’m interested in transitioning from Marketing to a UX/Product Design focused role. I am leaning more towards gaining more visual design/technical skills. I hope to continue working for a tech company in the future!

Which program would provide the best curriculum/connections?
Which program would be ideal for someone who wants to work while studying?

Anyone with info on either program or is in a similar position - it would be great to hear from you! Thanks so much.

Hey, which one did you end up going with and how'd it go? I'm actually in the same shoes as you were years ago and curious about what you're up to!
